...Perhaps, but I've encountered more people who, if anything, seem more infatuated by Michelle than by her husband - including the white woman I know who bought her first-ever issue of Ebony magazine because Michelle was on the cover, and the cameraman I met in Denver who finagled a fist bump with Michelle and then proclaimed that he would never wash his hands again. He assured me he was usually jaded in these kinds of situations, but Michelle was the second coming of Jackie...
...remain behind bars - some in their eighth year of captivity. But neither presidential candidate has outlined when and how they plan to do it. One man ready to offer them some free advice on the problem of Guantánamo is Sami Al-Hajj, an al-Jazeera TV cameraman recently freed, without facing charges, after six and a half years at Guantánamo.

Despite his years in captivity for, he believes, no good reason, Al-Hajj insists he holds no animus towards Americans. "So many...
David Chameides is not your average American. For one thing, the TV cameraman owns two Emmy awards - how many do you have? But more importantly, while the average American throws out around 1,700 lbs. of trash annually, for the past year Chameides has thrown out absolutely nothing. A deep green by nature - he also runs a website called Sustainable Dave - beginning in December Chameides decides he would keep all the garbage he created, at home and on the road, in his house. "We have the concept of throwing something away, but in reality, we're just tossing it over...
